Iceland Tour

Frances Litman — Mon, 05 Jun 2017 20:21:51 +0000

Thanks to Cathy Scott of Niche Women’s Tours/Departures Travel for the opportunity to host a fabulous trip this past May to Iceland.

The natural beauty of this incredible country is staggering. In fact, Iceland is one of the most picture-perfect places I have ever visited.

Here are a few of the many images I took with my phone to give some idea of the variety of sights to be seen. I’ll be posting more soon once I have the opportunity to edit the 1000+ images I shot with my Nikon DSLR.

I look forward to hosting my next trip with Niche in the spring of 2018 to Scotland and Ireland and in the fall to Africa.

World Photographic Cup Finalist

I was delighted to learn this image I took at Royal Roads on a client’s very wet wedding day was chosen to represent Canada at the World Photographic Cup competition held recently in Japan.

The World Photographic Cup was founded in 2013 as a cooperative effort by The Federation of European Photographers (FEP) and Professional Photographers of America (PPA). Its singular goal is to unite photographers internationally in a spirit of friendship and cooperation.

A Governing Committee from seven different countries conducts the ongoing affairs of the competition which is a multi-level process which begins with each country choosing 18 images (three in six different categories) to represent the country.

Beautiful Kauai

Frances Litman — Fri, 29 Jan 2016 22:05:40 +0000

Thank to great friends and AirMiles I was able to take a long overdue vacation and go to Kauai for five days.
It was such an awe-inspiring trip, not only because of the amazing beaches and lushness of this amazing garden paradise, but due to some of the incredible people I met, including the island’s revered cultural ambassador and internationally known wisdom keeper, Puna Kalama Dawson (Kaipuha’a o Kekauilani Na Pua Hala o Kau’ai) who agreed to travel to Victoria to take part in this April’s www.creativelyunited.org. Check it out!

An Ambassador of Aloha and conscious caring education, Puna is credited with creating a cultural public charter school, Kanuikapono, that supports traditional Hawaiian values of Aloha, indigenous organic gardening for food self sufficiency, as well as lovingly prepares the students for the world of today. Puna is also on the board of Leadership Kauai.

Puna is a direct heir and beneficiary to Queen Kalama who was married to Kamehameha, the Third King of the Hawaiian Islands. Her mother, Elizabeth K. Kalama, also known as “Aunty Nana” is a direct heir to Queen Lili’uokalani who was the reigning Queen before the overthrow of the Hawaiian Islands.

Incredible India!

Frances Litman — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 15:10:38 +0000

Thanks to Cathy Scott at Niche Woman’s Tours for the honour to host a fabulous travel adventure to India. This is a trip beyond compare! At every blink of the eye there was a National Geographic moment in front of us and the stimulation of the colour, sounds, people, food and scenery was incredible…it was like witnessing the most sumptuous movie frame-by-frame without wanting to miss a moment.
We rode elephants, camels, experienced a Bengal Tiger in the wild not more than 12 feet from us and saw a country that is filled with colour, intrigue, art, architecture, beautiful people, food and moments that will leave lasting memories.
Here are just a few of the thousands of images that I took with many more to come. Stay tuned.

Santa Fe Photo Tour

Frances Litman — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 18:34:29 +0000

Having just returned from leading a photo tour to New Mexico with 12 wonderful women, one can’t help but crave the beautiful warm russets of the landscape and food. It’s like having fall twice with the added spice of red peppers. Being one of the major art centers in the world, Santa Fe is truly a feast for the eyes.
At 7,000 feet above sea level, I should have been better prepared for the cold, but it still surprised me how much warmer it is here at home. In fact, it snowed!
Watch for more photographs to come as there are lots to share and stories to tell. Thanks to Cathy at Niche Travel for arranging such a wonderful trip!!

Photo Tour Reunion

Frances Litman — Fri, 05 Jul 2013 18:22:10 +0000

A good time was had by all at a recent get-together enjoyed by the lovely women who I had the pleasure to travel with to Croatia last October on a photo tour led by yours truly.

We enjoyed a wonderful visit at the beautiful Abkhazi Gardens, complete with super-star guest Tamara Taylor, the daughter of one of our group members, who was visiting from LA where she plays Dr. Camille Saroyan in the television series Bones.

Croatia Fall Photo Tour

Frances Litman — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 17:54:23 +0000

If you ever want to see the best of Europe in one country, you will find it in Croatia. I had the great pleasure to lead a photography tour for the Women’s Travel Connection this past September/October.

When I was asked where I would like to lead a tour to, I immediately said Croatia as the memory of seeing it on television at the time of the 1991 conflict made it seem so surreal that a war could be fought in what looked like an absolute paradise. I can now attest, the natural beauty of the region is breathtaking.

We landed in Zagreb and with our own deluxe bus and guide we made our way throughout the country visiting coastal cities and islands all with hundreds of years of history, beauty and lushness.

Given the country has some of the best soil and purest water in Europe, everything tasted fantastic. Organic is a way of life there as things grow so plentiful. Figs, olives, tangerines, lemons, oranges, grapes, almonds…they have it all!

The people were warm and English was spoken most everywhere. I would have to say of all the places I’ve visited in the world, Croatia ranks as one of my all-time favourites.
